Hello, Tewelde,

When you change the name of a question ID, CommCare treats these as two
separate questions. The data collected for the deleted question can be
accessed in a data export by clicking on Show Deleted Questions and
Advanced Properties when editing the Export. You can see an example here:

I hope this helps,

Hello, Tewelde,

Since these are considered as two separate questions in CommCare, if you
want to merge the data you will need to do that in Excel or whatever data
tool you are using. In Excel this can be done using the "&" as described
here:

You could use this to combine the content of both the old and new columns
into a third which would have a value for all rows.

Hi Jeremy and Tewelde,
I guess what Tewelde wants to do is to get the old responses for the Q. 12
into the database but not to concatenate the old and the new fields.

If this is true and there was no export before the change of name, then I
guess the Q. 12 will be empty for the first submissions before the change
which means that Tewelde need a way to retrieve the data for the Q. 12 for
those submissions and then replace the empty fields.

Jeremy
Is there a way that one can export data for deleted questions? If yes, then
it will be copy-and-paste or simple query can do the trick.
